  2. My grandfather played for Jimmies Joys from 1925-1933. His name was Norman Smith, as was his son's, his grandon's (me), and my son. I have two scrapbooks full of Jimmie's Joys band photos and numerous newspaper articles. I also have a menu from The Baker Hotel (I believe...I'd have to double-check) which is interesting. Many of the food offerings on the menu were named after members of the band. I'm very proud of my grandfather !

    1. Hey there! I am working on a project looking at TX bands from the 20s, including the Joy band (I have a relative, Texas Alexander, who also recorded for Okeh in TX in the 20s). Would you please send me an email. Thanks so much!
